Sellers not out by closing – options?

Sellers mentioned they would need 3 days to move out after closing days before our closing. In discussion, that turned into if their movers are available, attempting to close on their next house the day after our closing and move directly (not contingent, they just wanted these funds for their next house), so they may need more time. We said no to all extensions. They were insistent that they would have as much time as needed to move out after closing assuring us they would do it quickly.

Our contract says possession at closing. They were still asserting for more time friday, with our answer being no. So we're hoping they began packing this weekend, otherwise incredibly unlikely they'll be out for walkthrough/signing next week. Discussions have been through agents. Lawyers have been off for the holidays, and will be back for discussions Monday.

I know we can delay closing but would prefer not to. Our preference is to stand to the contract that they need to be out, and need to figure it out on their own. The time for discussion was months ago (our offer was 2 months ago), we think this is a sign of times to come. We don't want to extend for a rentback agreement. We are already about 4 weeks behind our original closing date due to title work delays on their side.

Just what happens if they are still there after closing? I don't want things to become nasty. It just seems disrespectful at this point, and want to communicate we are not willing to be pushed around. We had an agreement.

Apologies, if anything is unclear. I'll edit if any clarification is needed.

Aren't comps/CMAs useless with buyer credits at close happening now?

I'm looking into buying a new construction townhouse in my HCOL US city. I'm seeing builders offering interest rate buydowns worth $20k-$60k on $800k homes (rather than just lowering prices) in order to keep their comps high for their other units, now that buyer demand has been declining. I asked my agent about these, and he said these buydowns aren't even the full story: buyers can write all kinds of other credits into an offer, like their closing costs, prepaid sewer fees, etc. Apparently cash buyers can just write in a "buyer credit at close" for any amount in their offer. So a new townhouse that appeared to sell for $800k in the MLS might have actually been a cash offer with a $100k+ buyer credit at close, meaning the buyer only spent $700k or less in total, but to the rest of the world they can only see the $800k! So that made me realize I can't trust comps/CMAs for other new construction townhouses. The sales prices could be way lower than they appear...
